About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

German developer Daedalic Entertainment releases the English version of comedy adventure Deponia on Steam for $15.99 and developer-direct for $24.99. Players assume the role of a low-life who happens upon a woman that fell from above. While first deciding to help her, he noticed his similarity to her husband and resolves to make her fall in love with him, instead. Nice.

Engient's Rigonauts on Steam escaped last year's Activision indie competition unscathed, despite winning the $75,000 second prize. This self-published, building, smashing, and crashing physics-based game is $9.99 for Windows.

Talawa Games' Unmechanical is a "a puzzle adventure that combines tricky puzzle solving, alluring exploration, and an engrossing atmosphere," on sale for $8.99 for Windows on Steam, GOG, and more. Those wanting an in-depth account should read this Rock, Paper, Shotgun piece.

Empty Clip Studios' Galaga-like Symphony, which builds stages based on players' music libraries, is available for Windows for $9.99 on Steam and Playism Games. Hardcore shmup fans may find fault with the game, but in smaller, casual doses, this one may be more enjoyable.

Last but not least, Increpare's puzzler English Country Tune hits Steam today for Windows and Mac users, at a $0.50 discount. For $4.49, there is hardly a better, recent brain-scrambler. Fans can still purchase it directly from the developer and grab free demos here.
